This online tutorial provides a basic overview of a variety of technology tools and resources that teachers and students can use to increase in mathematics.This tutorial does address how to teach mathematics. Instead it focuses on providing students with tools they can use to successfully practice mathematics and build math fluency.
There are three sections in module, or page, of this tutorial that you need to complete. These sections are:
For students to become fluent in mathematics they must be able to practice success, to be able to repeatedly solve problems, select appropriate tools and strategies, and complete assignments. Technology tools can be used as scaffolds for student success.
. Learning Goals - Participants will understand
that there are a variety of cognitive processes and learning skills that impact student engagement, and that students vary widely in their skills and abilities
that there are a variety of technology tools that can be used as instructional scaffolds to support math fluency
. Module Activities - Participants will
Complete an instructional plan. The instruction plan includes the following sections:
Identify a student (only use fictitious names or identifiers)
Select one or more math standards to address with that student
Select a cognitive process or learning skill the student needs help with
Select one or more technology tools to use with the student
Complete the implementation section of the instructional plan. You completed plan is your final assessment.
.
Download the Instructional Plan and fill in the information for the first section, the student. Keep the document and fill out each section as you go through this tutorial.
